Forget your apple cider punch. Here’s a really appropriate Halloween beverage.
40 ounces (5 cups) chilled tomato juice
20 ounces (2-1/2 cups) chilled vodka
4 ounces (1/2 cup) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
lime wedges
celery sticks
Combine all ingredients except lime wedges and celery sticks in a large pitcher. Stir. Serve over ice, and garnish individual glasses with lime wedges and celery sticks. Makes 2 quarts.
Note:
Using the above proportions, one Bloody Mary would consist of 2-1/2 ounces vodka, 5 ounces tomato juice, 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon each black pepper, salt and celery seed, 3 dashes Worcestershire and 1 dash Tabasco.
